Viewing Patch Names (Editor Window)
Purpose:
Multi Patch editors are capable of displaying the actual sound/Patch names referenced in most Multi editors. To display the names however, it is necessary to have a Bank containing the names loaded into the program. If the Multi is being edited from a Set or Collection or the Multi is being edited from a Bank which in being edited from a Collection, the program first looks to the Collection for a Bank of the correct type to display the names. If there is no Set or Collection involved in the editing, the Bank must be loaded in the program. With a correctly loaded Bank you will see for example, "Trumpet" instead of "INT 1" and "Thump Bass" instead of "INT 2".
Directions:
Option 1. Follow these steps to make sound names visible
| 1. | Load an instrument group from the Studio by double-clicking on the instrument's picture |
| 2. | Edit the Multi Bank from the newly created Set |
| 3. | Edit a Multi from the Multi Bank. |
Option 2. Follow these steps to make sound names visible:
| 1. | Load the Bank containing the instrument's sounds (usually a Patch/Voice/Sound Bank). |
| 2. | Load a Multi out of the instrument. Along with the sound numbers will be a display of the actual sound names drawn from the Patch Bank loaded earlier |
If the software can not find a loaded Patch Bank, it will display only the number of the selected sound.
Example:
This first graphic shows an 01/W Combi editor without a Patch Bank loaded. The right column only has the Patch reference numbers but not the actual names.
After loading an 01/W Program Bank and redrawing the Combi editor, the following is displayed. The names of the Programs are now visible instead of the reference numbers.
When patch names are visible in a Combi/Multi/Performance type editor, double clicking on a patch will open that patch in the patch editor. For instruments that are multi-timbral and offer individual patch editors for each patch while in multi-timbral mode (such as most Roland and Waldorf multi-timbral instruments), ALT-double clicking on a patch will open the patch in multi-timbral mode instead of single patch edit mode.
